#566 bug related to looking for a hiphen/dash

[favna]

Clearly the output for wget --help | grep "-H" is not right. You see the garbled characters. Whether it happens evry time or every second time, you get garbled characters.

This is with gnuwin32 grep version 2.5.4

though I tested the grep with GOW too but that's an identical file.. FC says it's identical and it's v2.5.4 and 96,256 bytes. And anyhow, as you see, the gnuwin32 one is first in my path.
